It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a one-dose vaccine. Participants are considered fully vaccinated: • 2 weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.Pre-Screening: Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, should not attend class.For continued safety, the American Red Cross still recommends screening all participants for acute illness. Based on CDC guidance, this screening can be done with the following questions but does not require temperature screening. 1. Do you have symptoms of COVID-19/acute illness (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea)? 2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or been presumed to have COVID-19 and are any of the following present: • It has been less than 10 days since your COVID symptoms began (or less than 10 days since your positive COVID test if having no symptoms); or • You have had a fever in the last 24 hours; and/or • You continue to experience symptoms of COVID (not including loss of taste or smell)? 3. Are you currently under quarantine for any reason?Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions, should not attend class.

It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a one-dose vaccine. Participants are considered fully vaccinated: • 2 weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.Pre-Screening: Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, should not attend class.For continued safety, the American Red Cross still recommends screening all participants for acute illness. Based on CDC guidance, this screening can be done with the following questions but does not require temperature screening. 1. Do you have symptoms of COVID-19/acute illness (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea)? 2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or been presumed to have COVID-19 and are any of the following present: • It has been less than 10 days since your COVID symptoms began (or less than 10 days since your positive COVID test if having no symptoms); or • You have had a fever in the last 24 hours; and/or • You continue to experience symptoms of COVID (not including loss of taste or smell)? 3. Are you currently under quarantine for any reason?Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions, should not attend class.

It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a one-dose vaccine. Participants are considered fully vaccinated: • 2 weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.Pre-Screening: Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, should not attend class.For continued safety, the American Red Cross still recommends screening all participants for acute illness. Based on CDC guidance, this screening can be done with the following questions but does not require temperature screening. 1. Do you have symptoms of COVID-19/acute illness (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea)? 2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or been presumed to have COVID-19 and are any of the following present: • It has been less than 10 days since your COVID symptoms began (or less than 10 days since your positive COVID test if having no symptoms); or • You have had a fever in the last 24 hours; and/or • You continue to experience symptoms of COVID (not including loss of taste or smell)? 3. Are you currently under quarantine for any reason?Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions, should not attend class.

It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a one-dose vaccine. Participants are considered fully vaccinated: • 2 weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.Pre-Screening: Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, should not attend class.For continued safety, the American Red Cross still recommends screening all participants for acute illness. Based on CDC guidance, this screening can be done with the following questions but does not require temperature screening. 1. Do you have symptoms of COVID-19/acute illness (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea)? 2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or been presumed to have COVID-19 and are any of the following present: • It has been less than 10 days since your COVID symptoms began (or less than 10 days since your positive COVID test if having no symptoms); or • You have had a fever in the last 24 hours; and/or • You continue to experience symptoms of COVID (not including loss of taste or smell)? 3. Are you currently under quarantine for any reason?Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions, should not attend class.

It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a one-dose vaccine. Participants are considered fully vaccinated: • 2 weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.Pre-Screening: Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, should not attend class.For continued safety, the American Red Cross still recommends screening all participants for acute illness. Based on CDC guidance, this screening can be done with the following questions but does not require temperature screening. 1. Do you have symptoms of COVID-19/acute illness (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea)? 2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or been presumed to have COVID-19 and are any of the following present: • It has been less than 10 days since your COVID symptoms began (or less than 10 days since your positive COVID test if having no symptoms); or • You have had a fever in the last 24 hours; and/or • You continue to experience symptoms of COVID (not including loss of taste or smell)? 3. Are you currently under quarantine for any reason?Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions, should not attend class.

It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a one-dose vaccine. Participants are considered fully vaccinated: • 2 weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.Pre-Screening: Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, should not attend class.For continued safety, the American Red Cross still recommends screening all participants for acute illness. Based on CDC guidance, this screening can be done with the following questions but does not require temperature screening. 1. Do you have symptoms of COVID-19/acute illness (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea)? 2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or been presumed to have COVID-19 and are any of the following present: • It has been less than 10 days since your COVID symptoms began (or less than 10 days since your positive COVID test if having no symptoms); or • You have had a fever in the last 24 hours; and/or • You continue to experience symptoms of COVID (not including loss of taste or smell)? 3. Are you currently under quarantine for any reason?Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions, should not attend class.

It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a one-dose vaccine. Participants are considered fully vaccinated: • 2 weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.Pre-Screening: Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the questions below, should not attend class.For continued safety, the American Red Cross still recommends screening all participants for acute illness. Based on CDC guidance, this screening can be done with the following questions but does not require temperature screening. 1. Do you have symptoms of COVID-19/acute illness (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea)? 2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or been presumed to have COVID-19 and are any of the following present: • It has been less than 10 days since your COVID symptoms began (or less than 10 days since your positive COVID test if having no symptoms); or • You have had a fever in the last 24 hours; and/or • You continue to experience symptoms of COVID (not including loss of taste or smell)? 3. Are you currently under quarantine for any reason?Participants who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions, should not attend class.
